MOUNTING FOR MIRRORS AND THE LIKE.

Application filed May 11, 1921. Serial No. 468,504.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM LA HonNr,

Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have. invented newand useful Improvements in Mountings for Mirrors and the like, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to a bracket or n'lounting for supporting amirror or similar plate on an automobile or elsewhere.

The object of this-invention is to provide simple, efficient andinexpensive means whereby a firm grip of the bracket on the plate may beobtained.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view showing theseveral elements of my invention separate. Figure 2 is a fragmentaryhorizontal section of the parts shown in Fig. 1 assembled.

' Figure 3 is a top view, partly in section, of

a bracket and plate containing parts similar to those in Figs. 1 and 2assembled.

Similar characters of reference refer to like parts throughout theseveral views.

In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is shown a form of my invention, which is moreparticularly designed for supporting a mirror plate or a coloredanti-glare shield or plate 23 on an automobile. In this construction theplate 28 is of substantially rectangular form and provided in each ofits vertical edges, preferably midway between the upper and lower edgesthereof with a notch or recess .24:

which is engaged by a tenon or a projection against verticaldisplacement relatively to a each other. The hooks 27 of the bracket 19in this case engage with the outer side of the U-shaped bodies of theprotecting members and these parts are interlocked against relativemovement in a vertical direction by means of cars, lugs, or lips 28projecting outwardly from the upper andlower ends of the body of eachprotecting member and thereby retain the latter in engagement with therespective hook.

By means of this invention it is possible to firmly fasten the glassplate of a mirror or anti-glare shield to a bracket without liability ofinjuring the glass plate in any way so that the same will always remainin a serviceable and sightly condition.

I claim as my invention:

A plate provided in its edge with a notch, a protecting member having abody of U- form in'cross section the channel of which receives the edgeof said plate, an inward projection in the channel of said body engagingwith said notch and outward projections at the ends of said'body, and abracket having a hook which engages the outer side of said body betweenthe outward projections thereof.

WILLIAM LA HODNY.
